Even though we’re about to enter 2021, racism is sadly still something we have to live with on this earth. Antoine Griezmann has kicked off against it on Twitter after learning of a brutal racist attack that took place in France against a musical producer called Michel.

For over 15 minutes Michel was kicked and insulted by three police officers who entered into his studio illegally, supposedly because he had gone into the street without a mark. Upon realising and seeing the agents he turned around and went back into his studio. The cameras there filmed what happened later on.

 

“My France hurts me,” wrote Griezmann on Twitter, quoting the story. Below is the Tweet from Griezmann and the video he quoted, of the victim of the racist police attack.
